Ace and Angel take a few days to recover and relax.
During which Ace returned home to celebrate his birthday and see his parents again.
________________________________________
A week after Ace's birthday
Ace and Angel decide to go to the dungeon of the endless forest where Ace started his journey to explore what the government called an "easy" dungeon.
They enter the dungeon and find themselves in the middle of a forest with giant trees crammed together, very little room for any other plants to grow. Some would call this a barren forest.
As they move foward they find a moderate size temple, made out of cobbled stone and vines and moss. A layer of thick fog circulating around the building. The temple looked run down and eerie.
As Ace and Angel walked inside a rumble could be heard and behind them a giant stone moved to block the entrance. The inside magically lights up and a Giant Centipede stands in the center of the room with a menacing look to it.

The centipede charges at them while surrounding Ace and Angel with 5 giant Beatles and 3 giant spiders.
Angel fires 3 fire balls at the 3 giant spiders, setting them alight and killing them instantly.
Ace activates his meteor shield and stat boost and rock wrecker at the same side suddenly his aura gave off a pressure that initially pushed back the giant Beatles but they continued onwards, as they charged at Ace they launch foward like a powerful bull and slam into Ace's shield sending the Beatles flying into a wall and moving Ace about 1 meter back. 2 of the 5 Beatles die the others are injured. He charges at them with great speed and easily slices through their exoskeleton and severs their head from their bodies.
"Phew that was easier than I thought they had basically no aura haha" Ace laughed out loud just as the centipede slammed him with its body sending Ace flying into the wall and breaking his arm.
Angel standing there in shock prepares 2 fire balls with the last of her stamina and launches them with great speed at the centipede. Seeing it ablaze and making it explode like a gross slimy firework.
As Ace sees Angel fire of a few fireballs he activates heal pulse on himself to slowly recover some of his lost HP.
The Centipede collapses and disappears leaving behind; 10 support Blessing Shards and a Centipede chest plate.
Ace received these two.
"Ding… level 9 achieved" ace heard in his head
"Ding… level 9 achieved" Angel heard in her head.
They both use this time to rest and recover before moving foward to the next room.

After Ace heals most of his wounds they both move to the next room as they enter it lights up with colours of gold and silver the floors and walls are made out of gold lined with gems and riches. On the walls is writing that says "here is a gift from the old" and right underneath the writing is a pedestal holding a necklace with a glowing red gem as Angel goes to grab the necklace she feels a deep heat coming from the jewellery. She grabs it and it feels hot to the touch like metal left in the sun all day. She puts it in her pocket and will look at it later.
They decide to use the Warp Stones to leave and they appear at the entrance.
They decide to stay the night at Ace's parents place since it's close by.
Over dinner Ace's parent keep making jokes about Ace and Angel dating but Ace brushes it off and Angel blushes hardcore every time.
Ace and Angel stay up to figure out what the jewellery is.

Angel looks at this and nearly screams this is absolutely perfect for her this will nearly double her power.
They disappear off to bed shortly after this.
Angel while in bed can stop tossing and turning thinking about the possibility of dating Ace. "I mean he is handsome but I can't date him I mean we are partners like that's not okay but he is hot" she whispers to herself as she struggles mentally with whether it would even be possible or not. "Oh well that's another day's problem" she says as she lulls to sleep
